“…The most advanced concept in terms of robotics lies in IoRT, where CPSs are used to lay a strong foundation in enhancing IoT itself [ 10 ]. In IoRT systems, modern robotic technologies have been merged with cloud computing [ 31 ] and networking, integrating CPSs and IoT protocols to develop new technologies. As an outcome of such integration, smart devices become able to monitor events, merge sensor data from a variety of sources, and use local and distributed intelligence to determine the best course of action [ 32 ].…”

With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Internet of Things (IoT) and robotic systems are closely cooperating, reshaping their relations and managing to develop new-generation devices. Such disruptive technology corresponds to the backbone of the so-called Industry 4.0. The integration of robotic agents and IoT leads to the concept of the Internet of Robotic Things, in which innovation in digital systems is drawing new possibilities in both industrial and research fields, covering several domains such as manufacturing, agriculture, health, surveillance, and education, to name but a few. In this manuscript, the state-of-the-art of IoRT applications is outlined, aiming to mark their impact on several research fields, and focusing on the main open challenges of the integration of robotic technologies into smart spaces. IoRT technologies and applications are also discussed to underline their influence in everyday life, inducing the need for more research into remote and automated applications.

“…Generalized wireless connections have broken the barrier of physical constraints raising tremendously the capabilities of robots. With the cloud technologies, capacity, memory and storage constraints are significantly reduced and, in some cases, possibly even eliminated (Koken, 2015). This enhances the potential of machines that are being used, increasingly, in every productive sector and also in everyday life.…”

Purpose The academic literature is currently placing significant attention on the study of the socio-economic consequences of the observable fast automation of all sectors of economic activity. The purpose of this paper is to systematize meaningful ideas on the economic impact of the rise of the robots. Design/methodology/approach With the goal of evaluating the channels through which the current wave of fast technological change affects the organization and performance of the economy and the behavior of agents, the paper is structured into two parts. The first part assesses the state of knowledge regarding the potential revolutionary role of robot use in production. The second part designs a model aimed at exposing the interplay between the most prominent features associated with the new economic reality. Findings The current wave of innovation has implications that escape conventional economic thinking. The evaluation and prediction of what the new phenomena brings is fundamental to design policies that prevent income inequality to widen and growth to slow down. Research limitations/implications The full macroeconomic impact of the fast, pervasive and irreversible automation of production is far from being completely assimilated. At this level, no benchmark model should be interpreted as a definitive framework of analysis, and economic thought should evolve alongside with empirically observed evidence. Originality/value We are facing an automation convulsion that replaces humans by machines at an unprecedented fast rate. This paper systematizes ideas about this process and offers a novel conceptual model to better understand what really is at stake.

“…Independently of location, nowadays any machine can access information that is remotely stored. Constraints that limited previous generations of machines, in terms of capacity, memory and storage, no longer exist in the age of cloud robotics (Hanson, ; Koken, ; Pratt, ). Moreover, cloud computing changes not only the technological landscape, it also modifies the organization of the economy and the way to do business; it allows firms to reconfigure their cost structure by eventually transforming fixed costs into variable costs: computer services can be hired as the business expands, instead of involving considerable up‐front costs that characterized previous waves of mechanization (Bayrak, Conley, & Wilkie, ).…”

The replacement of humans by machines in the development of a wide array of productive tasks is changing the economic landscape. Mutations on the structure of employment, widening income gaps, and uncertain effects over growth are some of the worries currently in the mind of economists. This article develops the foundations of a neoclassical growth model that puts into perspective the impact of automation over the aggregate economy. In particular, efficiency gains propelled by the current wave of innovation are confronted with the associated loss of jobs and with the potential social unrest and anxiety that the substitution of labor by robots brings. The strength of each effect determines transition paths and steady‐state results.
